First time I’ve seen Molinari miss so many fairways, it just wasn’t his day from the start. Amazing to see Tiger win another Masters, brilliant viewing and a heck of a ride he’s had to do it.

Take a bow Tiger. Simply sensational considering all he's been through in recent years personally and with his body.

For me that was his best won, because to control his emotions all week and comeback this way is awesome and the scenes with his family at the end show how far he has come personally from the surly machine he was to the well rounded major champion and all time great player with a human side.

Surprised by Molinari on the 12th and 15th some really poor shots from someone who looked solid for so long

That's what happens when Tiger is breathing down your throat at Augusta. Sure we all remember saying, these young guns aren't afraid of Tiger, they all at some point had a meltdown today, I suspect because of Tiger.

I'm sorry, as a life time Jack fan who always believed he was the goat, I don't believe he is now. No one has ever played the game at the level Tiger has, EVER. Jack is unquestionably the greatest major player, but Tiger is the greatest player to play the game.

And you're entitled to that view; I don't share it. I was brought up to believe that there are other facets to golf than the mere playing. Golf has a set of values and standards that I believe Jack upholds far better than Tiger, so unless there's a sea change in Tiger's behaviour Jack will always be the GOAT for me.

You have got to respect Tigers hard work, dedication and a brilliant achievement for winning another major .....
But let's not forget........
He will always be the lying, cheating adulterer who got everyone to lie for him to his wife, kids and friends for years while he was giving the 'squeaky clean' to the worlds media.
Great golfer, great golf, great result but still a lying barsteward to everyone and not a patch on Mr Nicklaus.
I don't care how many majors he finally wins, he will never replace Jack as my favourite.

I think that’s the key part. Some will include personality in their opinion. Others won’t.
Tbf a case is more than make able to have jack as the best irrespective of how nice they both are.

I’m sure most of us have a friend that’s misbehaved behind a partners back and haven’t disowned them. For me, looking at score records, I’d have it as Jack as the greatest, Tiger as the best.

Crazy how people judge everyone even when they dont know the full circumstances, you friends with anybody who may have had an affair and does it change your opinion of them as a golfer ? You might not hold him in as high a regard as Nicklaus as a person but he is every bit the golfer Nicklaus ever was and in my opinion played the game at a level never seen before or since

Oh so you know Jack on a personal level? Family or great friend?? There are stories on how he and the great Arnie were quite the ladies men back in the day. You really think there were no skeletons about if there were the type of media/social media about back in the hey days? :unsure: C'mon now!

It will be interesting to see how much this week has taken out of him.
Only a month to the PGA. I'm sure he'll be up for it but will he be able to recreate the momentum.
Going to be an interesting Major.
,
Do t get caught up it it all he is only early 40's and carrying half the weight you probably are and is probably fitter than 3/4 of the other guys in the field so will have as good a chance as the rest, out of interest now many others have gone on to win both ?

I don't care how good he is. Having him sitting there telling us about his kdis and what it means blah blah, horrible dirty dog, no respect for those he should have until he actually got caught...

With regards to the personal life issues I'd rather judge a sportsman on his sporting accomplishments, easy for people to slate a man or woman for misdemeanors and saying what it mean to have his kids there, but yes the man had an affair there are many that have done the same that doesn't mean he doesn't love his kids and that he can't be sincere in his emotion having them there. Anyone that thinks otherwise is a little deluded.
